In 2015, we established the Women@Warburg Quarterly Forum, hosted by our President, Timothy F. Geithner. This forum is a quarterly lunch series where female professionals get together and discuss various content and topics relating to their profession, relevant happenings in the industry and around the Firm, and can discuss topics relating to the retention and development of female professionals.
